WD-40 debate.
I keep reading about using WD-40 in and on inkjet printers with and wonder if there is more than one kind of WD-40.
The WD-40 I have is an oil base water-displacing spray that will not mix with water and appears to set not dissolve inkjet ink.

Warning: WD-40 should not be used around anyone with allergies, asthma, or sensitivities to solvents.
Perform this simple test and decide for yourself.
Take a color print on plain paper and cut it in half.
Outside in a well-ventilated area spray one half with WD-40 and see what happens.
Now pour warm water on this same piece of paper and watch the water bead and run off just like a freshly waxed car.
Take the other half of the color print and put it in the sink and rum warm water on it and watch what happens.
